BREEAM is sometimes referred to as BREEAM Assessments, BREEAM Assessment Ratings, BREEAM Reports, BREEAM Assessors, BREEAM Rating.
How Is BREEAM Assessed?
Covering a range of environmental issues in Corfe Castle, BREEAM looks at a building's impact on transport, waste, energy, health, water, pollution, materials, management and ecology to assess whether a building is Outstanding, Excellent, Very Good, Good or a Pass. Covering more than 50 countries and 250,000 buildings, BREEAM's aim is to educate building owners, designers and occupants about their impact on the local area.
What Are The Benefits of BREEAM?
A BREEAM certification is a way of validating how good a building in Corfe Castle is in terms of the environmental impact through a globally recognised standard. It's the hope that the BREEAM assessment will help building owners and designers to improve their carbon footprint and make better use of their resources.
It's not unheard of that making a building more environmentally friendly will increase the cost of construction - but BREEAM aims to show that by building this way you will save on operational costs in the future that in turn limit investor costs and makes the property more attractive when reselling.
